I was hoping to give our Moses the honour of post number 10000 :applause: :very_drunk: :redfire:but here goes !!

This machine won't be found amongst the orientals, or in Aerofiles, nor is it a Balkan horror - it is much closer to home than that.........from a well-known manufacturer, who have their very own Putnam.........

Could it be the Bristol 110A?

PS Probably with Neptune engine
 
You got it, BG, and I think you are right about the Neptune motor - probably just before its last disastrous flight.....see, it wasn't so exotic after all ! :very_drunk:
 
I'd gone westwards, but not far enough to look at Bristol....the engine cowl & wings looked more Gloster to me! I certainly don't remember it from my Bristol book of aitcraft.....Ah well one lives & hopefully one learns...& at my age remembers.....

(Should have sussed the Bristol):pop4:

Thanks for the hint, BG - it must then be the P.W.S.50 ! :poland: (Unlike Moses, I was wasting time in France.......:banghead: )
 
I'm still learning then - I though as its a RH tractor engine it was a German motor & possibly a German aircraft - neither searches of which resulted in anything like that aircraft. Didn't know that ADC Cirrus engines were RH tractor & had not thought of Poland either!!! Ah well onward & upward..as they say....

Hmmmm... I was way off looking in the USA....windscreen looked Severski ish, but LH tractor a problem.....didn't know Russians were LH..
Ahh well back to the drawing board!

Keith, you are exhibiting classic symptoms of propeller obsession........don't think it will help with this floater either....
